Hello all, I have been using LiteStep for a good while now, but recently I got a video card that supports dual screens. With 2 screens hooked up, my LS does not work properly, it puts half on one screen and half on the other, not exactly 50/50 but some parts here and some parts there. Any Ideas… Thanks

yep...the theme wasn't written correctly for dual-monitor systems. you need to be using rabidvwm (it's the only vwm module that explicitly supports dual monitors). then just check all the other placement settings.

hey I got the perfect dual monitor theme made it
but its 15 megs large I wanted rabids help so I could shrink it down before I post it up even has dual monitor wall paper than spans the whole 2 screens and works together with mbm5 so yougot cpu usage and ram usage right on your desktop with a hiding sytemtray, I'll take screen shots soon but I want to shrink it down, so for the time beings I recomned no t using vwm adn adjusting your setdesktop area in jdesk.When I first installed it its what I had to do just view my posts

ooh, forgot about that...

If your two monitors don't show up separately in Display Properties -> Settings, having a theme designed for dual-monitor systems won't help much. As I understand, this is pretty common for dual head cards on Win2k.

But either way, if the theme doesn't work out of the box, you'll have to go in and adjust the positions for everything. Try putting your second monitor on the right if it isn't already.

Try the glaze 1.3 theme, its written for and works fine with dual monitors.

Well as it turns out, I found a theme called Austerity. This theme although not designed specifically for dual monitors, works fine. With the vwm’s arranged vertically in the theme my vwm’s arrangement is as follows. Discovering LS in the beginning I thought was a god sent due to its ability to have 4 workspaces on one monitor and now I have freakin 8.

1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8

Uh... Is that a problem or a solution? Tell it to use rabidvwm instead of ckvwm? I believe Austerity has that option someplace.

It sounds like you don't have the dual head/Win2k problem at least.
